The Science OF Noses.

The nose, we all know, forms a
prominent feature in everybody's ca
reer, but it has been left to NJ. Sophus
Setback, Danish disciple of Lavater,
to find out that it is an infallible index
to human character. He tells us in
book Just published that his discovery
is the result of long and patient
study of this facial organ among peo-
pie of all nations. According to his
experience, the moral and physical ma
ture of person can be gathered from
the formation of his nose. A well-de-
veloped nose, he says, denotes strength
and courage; little turn-up nose in
dicates cunning and artfulness; deli
cate, straight nose, taste and refine
ment; o curved nose, judgment and
egotism; and thick, misshapen nose,
dullness and want of tact. But this is
not all. "The nose" proceeds our
physiognomist, "dlscloses to the intel
ligent observer the faculties possessed
by the owner. 1t also indicates the in
tensity of his intellectual activity and
the delicacy of his moral sentiments.
Finally the nose, which belongs both
to the mobile and immobile parts of
our visage, reflects faithfully the fugi-
tive movements of our inclinations." If
oil this be true, it is evident that peo-
pie who desire to disguise their char
acter or dissemble their passions must
in future beware of their M -.
rather, they must wear y

road here suns nearly parallel with
the river and about a mile from it.
Soon the commander of the wagon
train came riding by at furious pace,
yelling that the rebels had crossed the
river and would reach the wagon train
i'll about ten minutes. This created u
panic among the teamsters and it re-
quired much tirmness on the part Of
the guards to prevent stampede.
News soon reached us that Gen .Siegrl
had destroyed the pontoOn bridge and
captured all who were Oh this side of

train was at the mercy of one who had
taken too much stomach bitters, as he

task to turn a wagon train of several
hundred wagons, aud that in dark
night Twelve o'clock found us about
two miles from Warrenton, where we
remained until daylight. There was
more or less firing in the direction of
the river all day. We halted near Cat
lett Station for the night. About nine
o o'clock, in the midst of a heavy thun-
der shower. Gen. Stewart with his
rebel cavelry, attacked Gen. Pope's
staff train, which was parked near the
Station. He killed several guards,
took few prisoners and destroyed
some wagons. The heavy rain and
darkness of the night saved our train
from destruction We were within
mile of Catlett Station, where Gen,
Pope's wagons were destroy ed, and had
at least two thousand wagons parked.
